HOW TO WATCH: MSGSN, MSG, DAZN

The New York Islanders resume preseason action at Madison Square Garden against the New York Rangers at 7 pm on Tuesday.

The Isles are coming off a 2-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Cole Eiserman netted the Isles lone goal just 55 seconds into the second period on the power play.

Tuesday’s matchup is the second of four preseason games for the Islanders. The Isles will play on home ice on Friday and Saturday and a result, Head Coach Pete DeBoer said to expect a veteran group on Tuesday to avoid his regulars from playing in this weekend’s back-to-back.

The Rangers opened their preseason schedule with a 3-2 loss in New Jersey Monday evening. The Rangers are expected to ice a veteran lineup on Tuesday night.
